Armenian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
An Ardeal dialect word.[1][2] Borrowed from some Slavic descendant of Proto-Slavic *dъxorь (“polecat”); note especially Old East Slavic дохорь (doxorĭ). Cognate with Armeno-Kipchak դխոր (tχor).
Pronunciation[edit]
- (Eastern Armenian, standard) IPA(key): /tʰoˈχoɾ/, [tʰoχóɾ]
- (Western Armenian, standard) IPA(key): /toˈχoɾ/, [tʰoχóɾ]
- Hyphenation: թո‧խոր
Noun[edit]
- polecat, European polecat, Mustela putorius
- Synonym: ժանտաքիս (žantakʻis)
Usage notes[edit]
Most references[3][4][5] mistakenly identify with the beech marten, Martes foina.
